What bad thoughts can Batman have?

Chapter 255 Aquaman and Tuna (5800 words long chapter, I wrote so much, I’m so awesome!)

Antarctica.

Somewhere in an unknown secret base.

"Hahaha, Black Manta, are you kidding me?"

"...You seem to still imagine that after joining NEMO, you will have a say in actions?"

Black Manta sat on his seat with his fingers crossed.

At this time, all his weapons had been stolen, including of course the diving suit armor for which he was famous and a helmet that looked like a fly's head and could emit destructive lasers.

The surroundings were almost entirely filled with soldiers from the NEMO organization armed with live ammunition.Black Manta's scarred face showed a somewhat mocking look.

Courageless rats...

"Why can't I?" he asked the other person.

The fisherman is a tall old man with white beard and hair.He wore cowhide boots and a large sailing coat.

"Black Jack told me that you were rash, sir. NEMO's agenda has been planned for decades, and we have carefully designed it to achieve global control."

"Unless it's a very talented newcomer, we won't allow them to adopt a completely new concept or mess with our best-laid plans," Fisher said.

He looked at Black Manta: "Obviously, there is nothing else in his mind except revenge. He cannot be a decision-maker, but can only be a tool used in our plans."

"I've never served anyone."

When the fisherman heard Black Manta's words, he laughed dumbly, and then waved his hand nonchalantly: "Get used to it slowly, you will like it here, otherwise... Okay, let's stop talking here."

He waved to his men to send Black Manta away, but he didn't even notice the increasingly cold look in the other person's eyes.His stupidest thing was letting Black Manta appear in front of him.This is absolutely a huge mistake.

Black Manta stood up, and the next second, in a burst of golden light, he suddenly disappeared from his seat.

This is by no means a description or metaphor. In a whirlpool of golden light, he stood up, fell back, and disappeared from his seat.

"Wha...what? He...where did he go? Why did he suddenly disappear...?"

The fisherman suddenly stood up from his seat. He looked in surprise at where Black Manta was sitting just now, and turned to look at the woman who brought Black Manta into the base.

"Black Jack, what on earth is going on?"

Black Jack looked even more surprised and panicked than the fisherman: "I...I don't know, Black Manta never told me -"

"Ah!" Before Black Jack finished speaking, the fisherman suddenly felt a sharp pain in his heart and let out a scream.

"what!"

He lowered his head and saw the tip of a knife emerging from his chest with eyes that were almost bulging, and the bright red blood soaked into his shirt bit by bit.

"You...you..." He turned around with great effort, but only saw Black Manta's helmet like a fly's eyes shining with scarlet light.

How is that possible? When did he get his equipment back?He...he just flickered and disappeared in the golden vortex. Was that teleportation?

He teleports somewhere, takes his equipment, and then comes back...?
呲!
The blade was pulled out and blood sprayed on Black Manta's helmet.

Everyone was stunned by this unexpected result.

Black Manta's fly-like helmet may have seemed very funny to others when they first saw it.

However, at this moment, when this helmet was stained with the blood of their former leader "The Fisherman", it turned out to be indescribably ferocious and terrifying!
Black Jack was the first to react. She originally thought that she had been in an evil organization like NEMO for so many years and no longer knew what fear was.But when she looked into Black Manta's crimson eyes, she still trembled uncontrollably.

"You...what did you do? Oh! My God, what did you do?"

"The king is dead, Black Jack." Black Manta's voice came from inside his fly helmet, hoarse, dark, and with an inhuman sense of terror.

He sat directly where the fisherman was sitting, and then crossed his legs.

"So long live the new king."

Under the helmet, Black Manta pursed his lips: "Is there any problem?"

……

……

……

Before entering the tavern, Chen Tao dressed up.He covered his face with a pair of sunglasses and a mask, and put a hat on his head.Supergirl and Superboy, on the other hand, have biological stances as a means of concealing their appearance, so there is no need to do anything extra.

"Okay, let's go." Chen Tao said.

They walked in, and there was a lot of people inside.At this moment, something is going on in the bar...

Um, Chen Tao doesn't quite understand, acting?
A handsome young man.He stood on the stage, holding a Trident of Neptune that looked like a prop but was clearly made of metal.

Chen Tao's eyes paused on this halberd. As we all know, the Trident of Neptune, also known as Neptune's Trident, has five branches. This is very reasonable.

He was surprised that the props of a stage play performed in a mere tavern were so restored.

Standing next to him were two actors dressed as Superman and Batman.The props of these two actors were pulled out, and they were not at the same level as the ones worn by the Aquaman actor next to them. They were purely made of ordinary cloth, unlike the golden scales of the Aquaman actor, which had a metallic texture.

As they entered, the Aquaman actor's joke came to an end.

"I don't want to play with you anymore. No matter what you say, I just want to sleep with this tuna."

"Hahahaha, Aquaman actually sleeps with fishes." The Batman actor looked up to the sky and laughed wildly, and then suddenly looked like he couldn't laugh.

"Wait a minute. When he said sleep, he just simply slept with the fish, right?"

"Who knows?" the Superman actor said. "Let me see with an X-ray."

Then the actor of Aquaman actually took a half-dead tuna, walked to the side and started to twist his hips seductively: "Oh! Sweetheart, although you are great, I will still marry an octopus. You know, the octopus will always be Aquaman My real girlfriend! Oh! Sweetheart, 'taste' my manhood!"

(Note: There is a joke here. In another popular British and American drama "The Black Robe", there is a spoof version of Aquaman. His super power is to talk to fish and even chat with lobsters. His friend is a He only had an octopus, and later his motherland forced him to eat his friends alive.)
Then he pretended to have the high-pitched and thin voice of a tuna fish: "Oh, it doesn't matter, as long as you are in my heart and brain, I will always belong to you!"

As the Aquaman actor spoke, he showed the audience the tuna's cut-off body (heart), which was deliberately cut open, and its mouth (brain), which was deliberately widened with a wooden stick.

The performance seemed to be quite successful, and the tavern was filled with laughter.Thanks to the government's sweeping search and Neptune's increasingly frequent sea rescue operations in recent years and months, Neptune's popularity in this small Maine frontier is higher than people in the interior can imagine. .

Everyone is talking about a superhero who swims in the sea and has the superpower of talking to fish. It can be said that such a show came into being at the right time.

"Tsk, tsk, tsk... This joke is too vulgar." Chen Tao looked at the actor dressed as Aquaman.

He has strong muscles and hair that is dyed golden but has a very natural color.

Although she is wearing gold-colored contact lenses, she looks like she really has golden eyes.

His face is as handsome as an ancient Greek demigod. Even if he is deliberately funny, it does not affect his heroic appearance.

With such appearance and condition, it would be too unfair to make a living as a comedian in a mere tavern in a borderland.

Soon, the funny skit ended. The three actors packed up and left the stage. A waiter came up briefly to clean up the liquid dripping from the tuna fish on the stage. Then a white man with a red neck and red scarf carrying an accordion took over the performance of the three. The group came on stage and started playing the accordion.

The three actors from before got off the stage, sat down at a table not far away, and also got a few drinks.

Chen Tao took his eyes away from the stage performance.

"Connor." Chen Tao suddenly called Superboy Connor's name.

"Well, what's the matter?"

he asks.

"Scan that man with your X-ray vision and microscopic vision, and then tell me what you found." Chen Tao pointed to the long-haired man.

"What? You can't treat me like a tool in your utility belt." Superboy Connor protested.

"Why not? That's what I did to Superman. Scan it quickly. Do you think I haven't scanned it myself? Tell me what you analyzed after the scan."

Connor then realized that this seemed to be a test.So he did so and replied:
"The clairvoyant eye cannot see through his body. Either he is wearing something that blocks prying eyes, or he himself can prevent others from prying into his physical fitness."

"That's all?"

Superboy was startled, then scanned back and forth twice with his clairvoyant eyes: "Is that true?"

Chen Tao sighed.

"Even if your vision exceeds that of 99.9% of the people on this planet, you are still hopelessly blind."

?

After Connor heard this, he was immediately furious.

Chen Tao turned to look at Super Girl: "Did you scan it?"

"Yes, I can see it. It's obvious..." Chen Tao stopped Kara's next words and nodded with satisfaction: "Fortunately, not everyone is as stupid as Connor."

Connor:?
Chen Tao sighed again. This can't be blamed on Super Boy Connor.Although he now looks like a teenager, a few months ago, he was even an embryo that had not yet matured, technically a baby under one year old.

A super brain can make Kryptonians full of wisdom and good at learning, but wisdom does not mean knowledge and experience, and the complexity of this world is far from being fully understood by just reading and studying. "Why don't you tell our target our purpose of coming?"

Chen Tao said.

"Eh. Me?"

Superboy Connor's eyes widened, and he pointed at himself in surprise.

"you sure!?"

"That's right," he heard Batman's voice: "Go and test him."

"Okay." In this situation, Connor's super brain worked very quickly.

The blond bearded man had been sitting there with an expressionless expression on his face since when the Aquaman and Batman actors performed a spoof of Aquaman jokes just now.He was the security guard at the tavern, the suspected target whom Amanda Waller had mentioned before in the van.

Connor walked up to the other party: "We need your help."

Chen Tao nodded secretly.Superboy Connor at least inherited Superman's super brain. Although he is a little weaker in terms of experience, he is definitely not stupid.

When he came up, he directly stated that he was here to seek help, rather than just making some random riddles to arouse the other party's vigilance or cause more misunderstandings that would raise blood pressure.

At the table next to him, the actor who had previously played Aquaman immediately pricked up his ears.He took the opportunity to pour the wine and changed seats, sitting behind the man with long blond hair and beard.

"Your name is Arthur Morgan, right? May I call you that, Mr. Morgan?"

Connor felt a little guilty, because he found that the man in front of him was just staring at him with a pair of golden pupils, without saying a word.

The atmosphere froze for a moment.

"Hiccup—"

The actor who played Neptune on the stage suddenly burped loudly and rudely from behind, breaking the somewhat stagnant atmosphere.

Arthur Morgan, a man with long blond hair and beard, glanced sideways at the hiccupping actor, and then returned his gaze to Connor's face, with a ferocious expression on his face: "What do you want from me? I have something to say. Say it."

Connor subconsciously wanted to look back at Batman, but in the end he stopped abruptly. Chen Tao nodded approvingly from behind.

This is called training, not letting the opponent grow wildly like Luther did.

Connor thought for half a second, and finally decided to test it out a little more tactfully.

"A stranger came to this village from the sea."

Connor's behavior has attracted the attention of several tables of drinkers around him. Their chatter gradually became quieter. Connor, who was suddenly being noticed by so many people, was a little nervous, but he still managed to speak.

"The stranger associates with sharks and dolphins, comes on the high tide, and commands all creatures on the ocean. He saves ships in trouble and brings catch to fishermen. He-"

"That's just a rumor."

But before Connor could finish his words, he was interrupted by the blond man.

"There has never been anyone like this. Please come back."

"An enemy from afar is about to attack." The other party's attitude strengthened Connor's judgment, and he said:

"We need warriors. We need this stranger. There are already many others like him who have formed an alliance to defend Earth. We must meet this man."

The blond-bearded man named Arthur looked at him intently.

Then he suddenly started laughing, and then everyone at the tables around him started laughing too.

"hahahahahahahahaha--"

The whole tavern was filled with cheerful laughter.

Connor was confused by their reactions.

"You...what do you mean...this is..."

The man with the blond hair and beard named Arthur laughed so hard that he was out of breath: "Hahahahahahaha... I'm laughing so hard, that's the expression! I bet you think of me as the rumored Sea King or something, or even... I came all the way here."

He laughed so hard that his stomach ached, and pointed at Connor's confused face: "Yes, that's the expression, hahahaha... But the fact is, everything is fake, just a way for our tavern to attract business. "

He dragged the actor playing Aquaman behind him over, and while the other actor complained "Hey, don't rub my hair," he rubbed the other person's forehead wildly:
"Do you still think that I might be a fake, that this guy is actually the real Neptune, and is secretly controlling me from behind the scenes?"

The blond bearded man named Arthur Morgan was overjoyed:

"Wrong, it's fake!"

"That's what I want you to think. This is all deliberately set up to attract business. It's just to play tricks on you outsiders, hahahaha!"

He laughed so hard that he punched the table, and then grabbed the actor next to him who had just performed Aquaman on the stage by the neck: "Hahaha, Tom! He believed it, he believed it! This is the first time we have successfully deceived him after we planned this plan. It’s so fun to meet other people!”

The Aquaman actor named Tom also flattered him at the right time:

"Le, well done! Boss Arthur is playing well!"

The blond bearded man Arthur laughed loudly: "You idiots, you spend all day dreaming about superheroes hiding in the crowd, and you can happen to find them. I am really happy!"

He pointed at the table of drinks on Chen Tao's table: "But our purpose from the beginning to the end is just to let you buy this table of drinks, hahahaha, you have already paid for coming to our pub in order to find the legendary Neptune. , now the money cannot be refunded!”

He turned to the bar owner and said, "Hey, boss, our brother's plan is good, but it has successfully brought you a lot of business!"

The bar owner who was wiping his glasses was laughing so hard that he had no energy to speak and could only move his hands back and forth.

"Wha...what?" Connor was shocked by this "fact" and his face turned the color of pig liver.He turned his head in despair and looked at Batman.

"This... this is impossible. The intelligence system cannot make such a big mistake." Amanda Waller's voice came through the headset. She was also surprised, but she quickly calmed down.

"It's impossible for our boys to make such a big mistake." She said: "Even if Sea King is not among these two people, he may be hiding in a corner of the tavern. Maybe he is not even here today."

Amanda Waller said categorically:

"But no matter what, Neptune should be near this tavern... or in this area. Otherwise, it is impossible to explain the source of his intelligence. We finally tracked it here. This is conclusive and there is no way it is false. And this is also based on probability. The above results are completely consistent with the calculation results.”

"No, you were deceived by a juggler in a tavern!" Connor's mentality was a bit broken. Thinking of what he had just said to the other party about "distant enemies" in a pretense of seriousness, he felt his face heat up.

Amidst violent laughter, he forced himself to walk back to Chen Tao's table. Chen Tao almost saw smoke coming out of his seven orifices.

"Let's leave quickly. I don't want to stay here for a second." He said to Chen Tao.

Chen Tao sighed.

Then he turned his head and looked at the super girl Kara who had been sitting there quietly and being a quiet lady from just now until now.

"Let me test you. Do you know what to do at this time?"

Chen Tao said: "Please, think about it before giving me the answer. Don't let me down."

"I know." Supergirl thought for half a second, and then replied softly.

"What are you talking about? Why don't we leave quickly-"

Before Connor could finish his words, he saw Kara taking off her coat, revealing the S on her chest and the cape behind her.

Connor:? ? ?
Kara flew straight up and landed in front of everyone in the tavern who couldn't help laughing. Then her eyes glowed red, directly turning the table in front of them into charcoal.

"Let me tell you. I have something to tell you." Kara seemed a little shy when she was suddenly stared at by so many people.

The little girl flew timidly in the air and said:
"If Neptune doesn't come out, I will burn this tavern down and kill you all."

She turned her head and melted the double-barreled shotgun that the boss took out from under the bar into molten iron. The boss was so scared that he raised his hands.

"I really want to kill all the sharks, no joke. I'm sorry!"

Batman showed an approving look, and then said: "Well done, but the attack is not strong enough, it's up to me."

Then he synchronized the speed bullet and floated up, looking directly at the man who just performed Neptune's Day Tuna on the stage and called himself Tom.

The corners of his mouth gradually rose.

"Come on!" Supergirl said.

"?" Superboy Connor turned to look at her. He was a little numb now: "What's coming?"

Then the next second Connor heard Batman let out a blood-curdling laugh: "Hee hee hee, hee hee hee hahahahaha!!!"

He flew directly to the ear of King Arthur and laughed wildly in a low voice that only he could hear:

"Arthur! I know that your father is buried in Cien Port. If you still don't admit it, I will fly to Cien Port now, raise your father's grave, and wash all the ashes into the sea!"

Chen Tao's eyes lingered on the opponent's golden scale armor, which was obviously made of metal, and the Neptune's Trident, which was placed next to him even when he was drinking.

Although the trident is called the Trident... it does have five points just like in the comics.
